ATLANTA, GA, August 1, 2017. (BUSINESS WIRE) - Cotiviti Holdings Inc. (NYSE:COTV) (“Cotiviti”), a leading provider of payment accuracy and analytics-driven solutions primarily focused on the healthcare industry, today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. Cotiviti will host a conference call on August 2, 2017 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss its results.

“Second quarter results reflect continued success in extending our track record of delivering significant value to both healthcare and retail clients,” said Doug Williams, Chief Executive Officer. “We have added a substantial number of new and cross-sell wins and believe this is a significant indicator of our long-term payment accuracy growth potential. In the second quarter, we generated revenue from one new healthcare client and two new cross-sell opportunities within existing clients, bringing our total wins for the first half of 2017 to four new and two cross-sells. All in all, our solid results are in line with expectations and continue to reflect our focus on making strategic investments that generate long-term, sustainable growth.”

“In line with that focus, in July we announced the strategic acquisition of RowdMap, Inc. (“RowdMap”),” continued Williams. “With this addition, Cotiviti is even better positioned to support our clients with enhanced payment accuracy and value-based care initiatives. With Rowdmap, we now have the ability to address approximately $600 billion of the estimated $900+ billion in annual healthcare industry waste.”

“Given the timing of the acquisition and where RowdMap is in their growth cycle with some newer clients, we anticipate minimal revenue contribution in 2017,” said Steve Senneff, Chief Financial Officer. “We expect RowdMap to contribute revenue of approximately $20 million in 2018. As we look to the balance of 2017, we are maintaining our 2017 revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance.”

Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

•Total revenue for the quarter increased 6% to $167.6 million, compared to $158.3 million in the second quarter a year ago. Revenue growth was driven by a 7% increase in the Healthcare segment to $151.6 million, with the Global Retail and Other segment contributing $16.1 million, down 7% compared to the same period a year ago. Healthcare revenue was favorably impacted by the addition of new clients and cross-sells with existing clients as well as an increase in volume and expanded adoption of solutions within Cotiviti’s existing healthcare clients. Retail revenue was unfavorably impacted primarily by timing of certain clients’ audit schedule shifts and no large settlements in the quarter.

•Net income increased 94% to $21.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share for the second quarter, compared to $10.9 million in the prior year quarter, or $0.13 per diluted share. Second quarter 2017 net income was favorably

impacted by year-over-year revenue growth, a 42% decline in interest expense, a 55% decline in loss on extinguishment of debt from a year ago, and a lower effective tax rate as the result of a $2.6 million tax benefit from stock option exercises.

•Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $64.2 million, a 2% increase compared to $63.0 million for the prior year quarter.

•Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income for the quarter was $36.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to $31.1 million, or $0.37 per diluted share for the prior year quarter.

Six Months 2017 Financial Results

•Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017, increased 9% to $327.7 million compared to $301.0 million for the same period a year ago. Revenue growth was driven by a 10% increase in the Healthcare segment to $291.4 million, with the Global Retail and Other segment increase of 2% to $36.4 million. Healthcare revenue growth for the first six months of 2017 was primarily driven by client-extended scope of solutions within existing clients, the addition of new clients and the success of our cross-sell efforts.

•Net income increased 153% to $48.1 million, or $0.51 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $19.0 million, or $0.24 per diluted share in the comparable period a year ago. The increase in net income for the first six months of 2017 is primarily driven by a 9% increase in revenue and a 45% decrease in interest expense partially offset by $14.4 million increase in compensation due to hiring in support of our growing healthcare segment.

•Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $121.9 million, compared to $113.6 million in the comparable period a year ago.

•Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $68.0 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared to $53.4 million, or $0.66 per diluted share in the comparable period a year ago.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, other non-operating (income) expense such as foreign currency translation, income tax (benefit) expense, transaction-related expenses and other and stock-based compensation. The Company defines Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share as net income adjusted for non-cash and other non-recurring items.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it provides meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons without regard to our financing methods, capital structure or other items that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Management believes Adjusted Net Income is useful because it provides meaningful supplemental information about our operating performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons without regard to non-cash expenses and other items that are one-time in nature. In order to assure that all investors have access to similar data the Company has determined that it is appropriate to provide these non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes we are enhancing investors’ understanding of our business and our results of operations, as well as assisting them in evaluating how well we are executing our strategic initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are intended as supplemental measures of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.
